Jesus, motherfu*king Zack Kassian of all people – where the hell did that come from…!? And why didn’t he play like that when he was with Vancouver a few years back!? God damn it, Benning!

And god damn Minnesota and Columbus too! You two shitstains of a franchise better right your ships soon, otherwise I might be going down with the ship by early next week! (...Then again, judging by everybody else’s picks on here, so will a lot of you guys, too!)

I stopped following the NHL ages ago and it shows.

Hey, you can’t do much worse than the next guy, am I right? At least you tried! :)

(BTW, Shinan, you have the Leafs winning in round one but then you have the Capitals advancing to the next round instead of the Leafs. Is this just an error, or are you just trying to pull a Hexatona here?)
I'm trying to pull a hexatona. I'm pretty sure I pulled one last time too.

Oh yeah, you did.

Okay, I just leave it the way it is, then.

I'm quite happy to see Leafs doing well. Ovechkin hussles home for the championship, i geuss.

Also, poor Calgary.
Did I say Wild over Blues In 4? I obviously meant Blues over Wild in 4.
Minnesota needs to take this!

The comeback is real.
god damn it calgary
god damn it Edmonton

Playoff Pool Update:

The Anaheim Ducks have fully completed the sweep of the Calgary Flames in 4 Games and are moving on now to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Ankylo, Cap_H & Kentona each receive 2 Points each for successfully predicting that the Ducks would win that series. No additional bonus points are handed out to anybody else, unfortunately.

- The full bracket and standings have now been fully updated!

Jesus, f**k, Calgary, what the hell happened!? They can’t even win at home now! And they even had a 4-1 lead in Game 3 - and they still ended up blowing it! My god...

I’m glad Minnesota and Columbus are still holding in there, but it’s still an awfully hard mountain for both of them to climb out of. And Nashville leading three games to none over Chicago now? Pfft – who the f**k saw that coming!? (…well, besides GreatRedSpirit of course, lol.)

god damn it Edmonton

- I’m not worried!

(…I’m especially worried.)

Nah, if they manage to show up in Game 5 then they might just have a chance. If not - then start packing your bags, boys! :D
Here are Bizarro Kentona's picks:

1st Round
Predators over Blackhawks In 4
Blues over Wild In 7
Flames over Ducks In 5

Are you sure that’s not just GreatRedSpirit’s original picks before he eventually ended going with the Flames, because it certainly looks like it.

Oh, and that universe’s Kentona is waaaay off. Their universe’s playoff format is a hell of a lot more different than ours, as it’s a best of eleven series there, not a best of seven. And clearly the Leafs are the number one team coming into the playoffs over there, fresh off their 256 point regular season with a reinvigorated, super android # 14, Dave Keon, leading the charge...(or so they wish)

Anyway...

Playoff Pool Update:

The Pittsburgh Penguins have defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets in 5 Games and are now moving on to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Cap_H & Shinan both receive 2 Points each for successfully predicting that the Penguins would win that series. Hexatona also receives a Bonus Point for predicting that the series would go to 5.

Also, the Nashville Predators have stunned seemingly almost everyone and have defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in a 4 Game Sweep - the first in their franchise history!

GreatRedSpirit is the only one who predicted that the Predators would win that series, and receives 2 Points. Hexatona also receives a Bonus Point for predicting that the series would go to 4.

Cap_H is now currently in the lead with everyone else, except for Addit, finally on the board.

- The full bracket and standings have now been fully updated!

Man, this sucks so far - I’m doing terrible...! I think I did a lot better last year...

My only hope now resides in the Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers... :(

My only hope is that the oilers somehow win the cup.
should've just went all the way with nashville again for the long bomb victory

it'd be more reliable than counting on calgary to beat anaheim!

For me, though, I hope they lose.

- I’m not! This is the greatest thing to happen to me all day. At long last, hope! And Edmonton winning tonight was a nice bonus too! :)

Although I still have a bit of a mountain to climb if I wanna catch you anytime soon, Cap_H.
